As the time draws near to say my final good-byes, my heart aches to leave me loved ones for a year. So much transpires in 365 days. I want to be here to see my friends walk down the aisle, others graduate, and still others start new journeys away from home. I want to continue with the amazing community I have built in Murfreesboro and stay close with those I have trusted for some many years.
BUT I am not called to do that this year. As much as it pains me to get on that plane in NYC and say farewell to so many back here, God has called me to something much larger than I can imagine. I am called to “follow Him” so he can “make me fisher of men” all over the world. Just as John and James “immediately left the boat and their father and followed him,” (Matt 4:22) I am asked to leave my friends, family, comfortable bed, delicious food, and nice clothes to follow Him.
